Users of SQL Server will be able to benefit from DH2i’s premium DxEnterprise container management software to implement Windows server applications in the cloud platform with the built-in HA and easier manageability. DxEnterprise software can coordinate access to a group of disk resources in the cluster by leveraging native Windows file system (NTFS) and shared or replicated storage technology delivering consistent disk presentation. Furthermore, DxEnterprise can support any physical, virtual or hybrid infrastructure regardless of the version of SQL server.

"DH2i CaaS enables customers to bypass internal roadblocks and get their SQL workloads up and running quickly - spinning up a SQL Server workload in the cloud within hours instead of weeks. DH2i CaaS offers its InstanceMobility, allowing users to move any SQL Server instance from any host, to any host, anywhere - with near zero downtime; with three-to-four times fewer OSs. Of course, DH2i CaaS also delivers built-in HA and DR readiness, all at the lowest possible TCO.," explains Boxley.
